First of all need to know about is your baby gaining adequate weight? Babies are mostly sleepy around 16-20 hours. You can change d3 drops brand or you can mix it in formula milk. but continue it Periodic breathing generally normal in new born but you must visit nearby pediatrician once for overall evaluation.

Physical check up by a pediatrician is needed for lethargy. Sleeping more can be normal at this age. Hiccups are normal. They are similar to colic and due to gases. You can give colic drops. Amount of feeds taken can be variable. Weight tracking is important. Stop vitamin D if he is vomiting. Alternate brands can be started after a few days. Check up is needed for breathing issue. Please visit a pediatrician for check up. No need to be afraid. These are quite common issues in newborns. Since you have so many doubts, direct guidance is necessary

Please consult your nearby Pediatrician. Lethargy is totally different from sleepiness. Baby should be taking feeds actively every 2-3 hours at this age.
